208 18 Years Later, Still a Good Person
Su Cheng was confused. Dong Xi continued, “I’m dead anyway. 18 years later, I’ll still be a good person.”
Although Dong Xi said it seriously, seeing Su Cheng’s eyes, Dong Xi lowered her head again. She said, “The price of gathering souls is too high, I can’t afford it.”
Su Cheng smiled and looked much better. He said, “If you work hard to beco soone who can help , I might consider not needing you to compensate .”
Dong Xi was silent for a mont. What kind of person could help him? Help him heal? However, Su Cheng’s injuries would recover sooner or later.
Just as Dong Xi was puzzled, Su Cheng said, “Go and refine the pills for . Prove to that you’re useful.”
Dong Xi stretched and did not reply to Su Cheng. She looked up at the moon, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes.
“It’s already very late. We’ll talk about it tomorrow,” said Dong Xi.
Su Cheng felt the change in spiritual energy and knew that the cultivation maniac had entered a ditative state. He stood beside Dong Xi for a while, then returned to the cave.
When the sky brightened, Dong Xi stopped her cultivation. She sensed so fluctuations in the restriction and imdiately deactivated it. Her master’s voice transmission talisman floated in.
“Little Xi, quickly co to my cave!” With just a short sentence, he had pushed back Dong Xi’s pill refining matter once again.
Dong Xi returned to the cave and explained it to Su Cheng. Then, she used earth bending to head to her master’s cave.
When Dong Xi was about to arrive, she shouted, “Master! You’ve finally co out of seclusion!”
Before Master Lingxu could see Dong Xi, he heard her voice and a smile appeared on his face. Lingxu deactivated the restriction outside and let Dong Xi in.
Lingxu’s face was glowing red, it seed like there was so good news. “Little Xi! Master has succeeded!”
Dong Xi was stunned. She had thought that her master would give her a good scolding after finding out about the Soul-Amassing Pill, but it turned out that it was not because of that?
When Master Lingxu saw Dong Xi’s dazed expression, he mysteriously took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and stuffed it into Dong Xi’s hands. The bottle was dark green in color, and there was a stream of light flowing across its surface. With a single look, one could tell that it was a spirit tool.
“Little Xi, take this,” Master Lingxu said. “It’s the first cauldron of pills I’ve refined. I’ll give it to you first.”
Dong Xi held the bottle, which still had so of the pill’s temperature.
Dong Xi was extrely puzzled. What kind of dicinal pill could make her master so excited?
Before Dong Xi could ask, Master Lingxu excitedly said, “This is the recipe that I exchanged with Master Ling Jun from Destiny Valley. I’ve been refining this recently and I finally succeeded today. This is a Hidden Spirit Pill. It can hide a person’s spirit root, and only show one spirit root.”
Most people who cultivated had many spirit roots and were very heterogeneous. If there was only one and they focused on cultivation, their speed would be even faster.
This dicinal pill was truly a good thing, but it did not affect Dong Xi’s cultivation at all under the moonlight. It was indeed a waste for Dong Xi to use this dicinal pill.
“How long can this last, master?” Dong Xi asked.
“One day. If it’s a top-grade one, it’ll last about five days,” Master Lingxu said.
“Isn’t this a good item that must be brought for travels?” Dong Xi said after a mont of thought.
If she wanted to conceal her identity while cultivating outside, she could have double protection of her identity by eating this and the Disguise Pill.
Lingxu smiled and said, “I’ll give you this bottle first. You can play with it. Your Senior Sister only has one spirit root so this is of no use to her at all. There is no point giving this to her.”
“Alright, Master. When you refine a pill that can increase the spirit root next ti, give it to Little Senior Sister first,” said Dong Xi.
As the two of them were talking, Master Lingxu suddenly said, “Little Xi, let ask you. Did you go to the Sect Master and beg him to gather the souls of your dead disciples?”
Dong Xi lowered her head. When Lingxu saw Dong Xi like this, he did not know what to do.
Master Lingxu sighed and said helplessly, “What do I do with you?!”
Dong Xi said, “Honored Master, if I hadn’t casually ntioned that I needed to go out and gain experience while practicing my swordsmanship that day, those Senior Brothers and Sisters wouldn’t have all gone out to do missions. They would have stayed in the Sword Sect. These days, I’ve been thinking about this every day. I didn’t kill them, but those people have lost their lives because of .”
Master Lingxu reached out and gently stroked Dong Xi’s hair. He said, “You’re just a little girl. Don’t bla yourself for all the sins. Sword cultivators are supposed to comprehend Sword Intent through fighting. It’s inevitable for them to go out and gain experience.”
Dong Xi did not say anything, and Master Lingxu continued, “Alright, you’ve already taken out 30,000 points, and the Sect Master has agreed to gather their souls. Don’t feel so guilty.”
